Fire Warden / Fire Marshal Training for Schools

  • It will ensure that the employer is fulfilling their obligations under the Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order for larger buildings by the empowerment of employees.

  

The role of the Fire Warden is normally the proactive role, keeping the zone that an individual is responsible for compliant and safe for the other occupants. The Fire Marshal sometime spelt Marshall is the reactive role. This would be during an outbreak of fire or a fire alarm. The terms have become interchangeable over time and it is personal preference what you call yourself but it is important to note there are two aspects to the role.
